Battelle, a global research and development organization, has been conducting comprehensive PFAS research for many years and has pioneered numerous assessment and mitigation solutions, including a new PFAS Annihilator destruction technology that will permanently remove PFAS from a site."
"McCarthy signaled during the event that the administration — which would need its CES to pass Congress — could include financial support for nuclear. Some older facilities may need additional financial support to stay operational as natural gas and renewables eat into its share of the grid, McCarthy said."
The 31-year-old state-funded program has diverted over 4.178 million tons of waste from landfills and saved nearly $120 million in disposal fees and related costs since its inception. These results were achieved using a community- and education-based approach to waste management that raises local environmental consciousness and addresses waste issues before they start.
"'Bees really provide for us in many ways — food provisioning, human well-being. They're important for our culture, dating back thousands of years in terms of heritage, inspiration of art,' Ngo says."
"At its virtual I/O event Tuesday, Google announced that its climate intelligence computing platform will be able to shift tasks between data centers to maximize the use of renewable energy."
"The blank check for wildfire fighting from the federal government clearly distorts incentives for homeowners. In California, policies regarding insurance markets have compounded the issues. After bad fire seasons resulting in record insurance payouts in recent years, insurers began to raise rates or even get out of the market altogether. In response, the state has sought to freeze policies and rates in what was already the most stringently regulated insurance market in the country."
"At Eos, we’ve been doing this for years, from bringing resilience to the California power grid during last summer’s wildfires to supplying power to remote communities in Nigeria. Our batteries are powered by zinc, a widely available and conflict-free commodity. From there, we take a less-is-more approach—our product is non-flammable, non-toxic, fully recyclable after its life, and efficient in that it can operate in a wide voltage and temperature range."
"Finding bipartisan compromise on the size and scope of an infrastructure bill will be hard enough. But policymakers are ignoring perhaps the most essential issue — permitting, which has become a maze of process obstacles that only Congress can address."
"In 1979, California’s population was a little more than 23 million. Today, it is more than 39 million. Yet in that entire time, California did not construct one additional, large-scale water storage project – meaning water infrastructure that once suited the state’s irrigation, livestock, and human needs has become chronically inadequate to meet its essential tasks."
"A key improvement has been modern blades that are far more sophisticated in design, from aerodynamic properties to materials. This has enabled a variety of other improvements to the turbine, including greater size and more height (which means the turbine can tap higher wind speeds), with less noise."
